AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE I NOTICED THAT MY FUEL GAUGE STARTED MOVING BACK AND FORTH REPEATEDLY. ORIGINALLY IT ALWAYS SAID THAT I HAD A FULL TANK OF GAS, BUT NOW IT TENDS TO READ THAT I AM ALMOST OUT OF GAS EVEN WHEN I HAVE JUST FILLED UP.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PLEASE ADD OUR VEHICLE WITH A GAS GAUGE THAT IS FAULTY. CONDITION BEGAN LAST FALL AND WE JUST ESCAPED RUNNING OUT OF GAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. FUEL LIGHT INDICATES THAT THE FUEL IS EMPTY OR NEAR EMPTY WHEN IN REALITY IT IS FULL OR NEAR FULL. JUST THE OPPOSITE HAPPENS WHEN THE LIGHT INDICATES FUEL IS IN THE TANK WHEN IN REALITY, IT IS ALMOST EMPTY. OUR LOCAL MECHANIC WAS NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE REPAIR COULD APPROACH $150. WE NOW REFUEL WHEN THE TRIP ODOMETER HITS 300 OR SO MILES.

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER
PURCHASED THE 2005 GMC ENVOY XUV USED IN 2009 WITH 41000 MILES. WITHIN 3 MONTHS THE ENVOY STARTED HAVING REAR DOOR LATCH FAILURES. THE REAR DOOR AND GLASS CAN BE OPENED IN A TRADITIONAL SIDE DOOR MODE OR A TRUCK BED MODE. FREQUENTLY THE ELECTRONIC LATCHES THAT OPERATE TO LET THE DOOR FUNCTION IN EITHER WAY WOULD FAIL. THE ENVOY HAS BEEN IN SEVERAL TIMES OVER THREE YEARS TO HAVE ALL THE LATCHES REPAIRED AND OR REPLACED. EACH LATCH HAS BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. WHEN THE LATCHES FAIL, AND THEY HAVE FAILED IN A CONFIGURATION THAT WHEN I TRIED TO OPEN THE DOOR IN A SIDE DOOR WAY, THREE LATCHES LET LOSE AND THE DOOR FELL OPEN WITH ONLY ONE LATCH HOLING THE REAR DOOR ON. I WAS FORCED TO HAVE TO LIFT THE DOOR BACK INTO THE SLOTS WHERE THE DOOR PEGS LOCK INTO THE LATCHES. ONE TIME THREE LATCHES FAILED AND I HAD TO USE BUNGEE CORDS TO KEEP THE DOOR CLOSED SO THAT I COULD DRIVE IT TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE LATCHES REPLACED. THE DEALER CHARGES ME 50 DOLLARS PER VISIT PER THE WARRANTY, HOWEVER THE VEHICLE HAS TO GO IN AT LEAST 3 TIMES A YEAR TO HAVE THE LATCHED LOOKED AT AND REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THEY REPLACE THE FIXED LATCHES AT NO COST BUT I STILL GET CHARGED 50 DOLLARS FOR THE VISIT. THE WARRANTY IS SOON TO BE OFF THIS VEHICLE. ALSO THE GAS GAUGE FAILED TO OPERATE CORRECTLY WITHIN MONTHS OF OWNING THE ENVOY. THE GAS GAUGE WOULD SHOW MORE FUEL THEN WHAT I HAD, OR SHOW NO FUEL WHATSOEVER EVEN THOUGH I HAD JUST FILLED THE GAS TANK UP. THE GAUGE NEEDLE WOULD BOUNCE BACK AND FORTH ALL THE TIME OR GET STUCK FULL OR EMPTY AS WELL. IT WAS FOUND THAT THERE WAS A BAD FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN THE TANK. IT WAS REPLACED. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT PINIONS OF THE ENVOY TWICE DURING THE THREE YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT BECAUSE THEY WERE LEAKING. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE DIFFERENTIAL CARRIER OVERHAULED BECAUSE THE FRONT DIFFERENTIALS WERE BOTH LEAKING. THESE PINIONS AND DIFFERENTIAL REPAIRS WERE THREE DIFFERENT VISITS TO THE DEALER, NOT AT ONCE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL GAUGE JUST STOPPED WORKING. IS ALWAYS ON E. EVEN WHEN I FILL IT UP.. GAS LIGHT CONSTANTLY ON AND DINGING. I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM IN ENVOYS AND I FEEL GMC SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR CORRECTING THE PROBLEM. MILEAGE RANGE IS HUGE SO IT IS HARD TO TRAVEL AND KNOW WHEN TO GET GAS. ESPECIALLY ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN GAS STATIONS ARE NOT ALWAYS IN RANGE.

PURCHASED NEW FROM DEALER 2005 GMC ENVOY - FUEL GAUGE READS EMPTY - SOMETIMES - IT WILL TELL YOU HAVE MORE GAS - MOST TIMES IT READS EMPTY. I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON SAT 4/30/11 - STUCK GOING UP A HILLED ENTRANCE INTO A MALL. THERE IS NO ACCURATE WAY TO TELL HOW MUCH FUEL LEFT IN TANK. PLEASE FORCE A RECALL FOR GMC INSTRUMENT PANEL PROBLEMS. ISSUE IS WIDESPREAD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE READING. CAR CAN RUN OUT OF GAS UNLESS CAREFULLY MONITORED BY OPERATOR. GAUGE BECAME FAULTY WITH TIME WHEN CAR WAS 3.5 YEARS OLD. AT FIRST WHEN TANK WAS FILLED, THE EMPTY LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN SUDDENLY REGISTER AS FULL AFTER APPROXIMATELY 20 MILES OF OPERATION. GAUGE NOW ONLY REGISTERS 1/4TH TANK OR NOT AT ALL AFTER TANK IS FILLED. WITHOUT CAREFUL WATCH, THE CAR COULD RUN OUT OF GAS ON A HIGHWAY AND BE STRUCK OR CAUSE SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS. DEALER ESTIMATED COST OF REPAIR = $650.00 AND STATED THAT IT WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL. I DO NOT WISH TO PAY THIS EXORBITANT AMOUNT FOR REPAIR. IT APPEARS FROM MY RESEARCH THAT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND RAMPANT WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AT 65,000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FILL AND HAS SINCE REMAINED THERE. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AS I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL GMC DEALER IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER PAST FUEL GAUGE RECALLS, AND I REFUSE TO REWARD GMC FOR SUPPLYING FAULTY PRODUCT BY PAYING THE QUOTED $800-$1000 TO REPLACE IT. THE SAFETY CONSEQUENCES OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL ARE EXTENSIVE, FROM SLOWING AND BEING REAR ENDED TO BEING HIT ALONGSIDE THE ROAD WHILE GOING FOR GAS. *TR
